Perception of Driveing Men & Women
I believe that driving patterns differ in both men and women because their thought patterns are contradictory.My sister recently bought a nineteen eighty-four Camaro, and was added to my parent's insurance, after having her first wreck. Her insurance is somehow significantly lower than my own when I began driving. She and I got into an argument about male and female driving differences, and this is what I found: It's a proven scientific fact that men and women perceive, as well as process things differently because their brains work in opposite directions. Statistically men are more right brained and women are more left brained. The left side of the brain is the side that is more verbal, detail-oriented, and sorting. On the other hand, the right side is the spatial intuitive nonverbal side. Now that I've thoroughly confused you, and you're asking what in the world is my point, I'll explain. Stereotypically, your average heterosexual female is more left brained which as I said before makes her more verbal, and detail-oriented. So, stereotypically would your average female be a better driver? Keep in mind I said your average heterosexual male is more intuitive, less likely to ta
In my personal opinion I believe that women and men (or right and left brained people) are equal when it comes to driving. There is no better sex in comparison in the driver's seat. One's mistakes compensate for the others and so on. However, the situation may be tricky when it comes to comparing driving skills. If a male is 32 years of age, has been driving responsibly since he was 16, and has only received two tickets in his career as a driver; versus a female who is 22 years of age and has received no tickets and has a spotless driving record. I would automatically assume the male was a better driver. Simply because he has had more experience driving, and experience is what makes all the difference. Intuition is defined (Oxford, 1980, s.v. "Intuition") as "the power of knowing or understanding something immediately without reason or being taught." So our average male when driving runs on pure instinct. He doesn't stop to think he acts quickly with what comes naturally to his mind. However, our average female is more thought provoked, more likely to stop and consider the consequences of a situation. When she drives she consciously contemplates every available situation. The right side of the brain is connected with unhappiness. Therefore someone who is more right brained may get angry in situations that call for a different response
